Catholic Answers : The Elevation of Mary

-

This is an article I wrote awhile ago and recently revised it. 

It is answering many of the objections Christians have to Mary. 

Why do Catholics elevate Mary?  

Like all of us, Mary was in need of salvation, but Christ elevated her as His Mother.     

She was saved...

  Proverbs 3:1-7 My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart. If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. Trust in the Lord with all your heart;  do not depend on your own understanding . Seek his will in all you do , and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom . Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.  ( my emphasis ) My wife and I meet Catholic friends of ours for breakfast each week. The gentleman, Bill, and I discuss many things, but primarily the current state of Mother Church. When breakfast is finished, and we say our goodbyes… jokingly admit that we have failed, once again, to save the world and the Church. Then I come home. There is little doubt...

  MESSAGE to the Participants in the Eucharistic Procession in Reparation for the Blasphemous Outrages of the LGBTQ Sect Praised Be Jesus Christ. I greet all of you, priests, religious and laity, who are participating today in the solemn Eucharistic procession in reparation for the recent outrages directed against God and our holy Religion. During a time of very serious crisis in the Church and of a furious attack on the Commandments of God and the Natural Law, we are all struck and indeed saddened by the complicit and fearful silence of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, concerned as it is with not offending the sensibilities of the world and indeed following and almost anticipating its agenda ( here ), while it has no concern for the fact that it is betraying Our Lord precisely in the moment in which He is being offended and blasphemed. By contrast, we wish to express our gratitude to Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas: may his courageous call for a public act o...

Kempis on: Sorrow of Heart

  John 16:33 " I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world. ”   Recently, I began a break. With the advent of the SINodality my mind was being filled with, although much truth, criticism that was beginning to turn my brain to mush. The last video I watched was with Kennedy Hall. (Some of my favorite presenters include Kennedy Hall, Dr. Anthony Stine, and Ralph Martin.) In fact, in the video, Mr. Hall suggested with all the negative chatter amongst the church, perhaps a break my be in order. In my case, it was. You see, my loyalty lies in Holy Mother Church, Christ's Church. I get perplexed when I see or hear Catholics act or speak to the contrary. As an example, I reflect back to Exodus 40. In this chapter, the last chapter of the book, illustrates how Moses set up the tabernacle and where the Ark of the Covenant was to be placed and how it was to be handled. There is so much holiness...
